    The fellow with a legion of demons reminds us to consider: what binds us? What isolates us? What has died within us? Looking to his example, we can 1) seek out Jesus, 2) spend time with Jesus, and 3) share with others what Jesus has done for us.

    Luke 8:26-39 Mentally Ill Made Well Many years ago, my wife and I were at a church where the “Power Team” came to perform. They broke stacks of blocks and bricks. They even tore apart chains. And in the midst of all the entertainment, they talked about their personal faith in Christ. While human ...read more

    There is freedom available from sin and weakness. But, there are no human actions or works that help save us. It is only through the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made that we can ever hope to be boundless, limitless, and truly free.

Since we have died to sin, how can we continue to live in it? 3 Or have you forgotten that when we became Christians and were baptized to become one with Christ Jesus, we died with ...read more
